Rare, Original News Paper Reporting the Response to Bombing of Pearl Harbor, Los Angeles Examiner Dec. 11, 1941
$375.00
The date is Oct. 11, 1941, it has been 5 days since then President Roosevelt addressed a joint session of Congress and formally declared war on Japan and the Axis nations. Journalists of the time are scrambling to report war events of the day and to update information on the events of Dec. 7.
This nicely preserved piece of American history frames our nations struggle to understand both what happened during the attack and what continued to happen as the war progressed. In 1941 our nation was still struggling economically from the great depression. Newspapers and radio were the sources citizens relied on for information on local, State, National and International news. Not every home had a radio, making newspapers the main source of information. Articles in this paper add clarity to the attack on Pearl Harbor and inform readers of events between that attack and Dec 11, 1941. Articles cover, compliance issues with black out orders, a ban on the sale of new tires as rubber resources are rerouted to the war effort, black out orders for the Panama Canal, Allied battles with Japanese in the south pacific and the death of Rear Admiral Kidd during the attack on Pearl Harbor. Per the article in this paper, he was killed in action, however the ship he was serving on remains unknown. History would later recognize that Admiral Kidd was killed on the bridge of USS Arizona during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Admiral was the highest-ranking casualty in the attack. He was killed in a direct hit to the bridge of the ship and his remains were never found.
The paper is sealed in plastic for preservation. It is in good condition, there is some yellowing of the pages, and the paper is clearly fragile, but very little loss to the edges, this document has been wonderfully preserved and protected. All print remains crisp and easily readable. It is approx. 17 inches by 11 1/4 inches. There are more pages than what can be seen inside the sealed plastic, professional preservation in hard plastic would allow visualization of the other pages. Please carefully review photos for full perspective.
